What kind of riding does it take to keep up with B group at Breakfast Club?

Hi all,

I got a new road bike about a year and a half ago, and my riding has ebbed and flowed over that time. I like social rides, so I go to breakfast club every month. I can hang on to the 14 mph pace in C group no matter what my riding looks like, but I've got a goal that I would love to try to get into the B group.

I know that requires more riding, but I'm interested in what people think what it actually takes to work up to that. The B group averages 16-18 mph, about 35 miles, and about 2,200 ft of elevation gain. I want to ride more, but it's tough to fit in the time with work and the rest of life. Maybe if I had a clear roadmap, I can keep up the consistency to get there.

Cheers.
